I've watched Harry Potter 4. I'm positively traumatised.
The main reason for my trauma is female. Her name is Hermione if you're a Hogwarts, or Emma if you're a Muggle.
She is absolutely stunning now that she's no longer a little girl. She was so gorgeous in that night gown that I almost wanted to hide in shame and self-consciousness of my abject ugliness. And when she sat there on the steps crying after the dance, my heart almost broke in sadness.
So why am I so traumatised? It is because I am thinking about the future.
Emma Watson is a famous celebrity now, but she is also an adolescent. From what I've seen, there's only been a few possibilities of such adolescent female celebrities.
1) Now that she's so famous, she's also probably very rich. And it follows that the food she eats would also be much richer than in the past. There'd hence be a possibility that as the hormonal changes start to accelerate in her, so does her gain in weight, which is all very normal for many post-adolescent females who live in a high-stress environment such as that of the highly competitive movie industry. And then because of that, she start to lose mainstream appeal, and disappear into oblivion.
Case Study: Charlotte Church; the last I saw her, she appeared to have put on quite a bit of weight. Or was it another one of those girl-singers? In any case, you don't really hear much news about fat girls anyways.
2) Now that she's so famous, and also so attractive (wait till you hear about sites like that 'bewitching hour' site that counts down to her 18th birthday...)(but I believe it's been taken down), she'd soon have all the Dick's, Peter's and Willy's clamouring after her. Who knows, with all that raging hormones, she might just succumb to temptation, declare that she's a virgin, and then break the hearts of millions of boys, men, and ah-peks by fooling around with numerous male celebrities and then holding a shotgun marriage to some nobody who happens to be her 'childhood friend'. And then she might jus start to lose mainstream appeal, and disappear into oblivion.
Case Study: Britney Spears, except, Britney hasn't really disappeared into oblivion... yet.
3) Now that she's rich and famous, she'd think that she's invincible. She does drugs, learns that she's not actually really invincible, and goes in and out of rehabilitation. The drugs ruin her life, and her time in rehab causes her fickle fans to forget about her. And then she loses mainstream appeal and disappear into oblivion.
Case Study: Drew Barrymore; except that she makes a comeback at close to 30 years old, and is still really quite cute even now.
...
And then there's that remote chance that against all odds, she turns out perfect. She grows even more beautiful, does not get into any hanky-panky, and masters the art of great acting, becoming a true superstar.
Case Study: I can't think of anyone... Ok I can, actually, but my point is that in the dazzly and glitzy world of showbiz, such cases are a few and far between.
Actually, I do sincerely hope with all my heart that Emma Watson will turn out just fine, and perhaps grow up to become a legend or something. However, my head tells me that chances are, she'll just succumb to the vested interests of the money-driven market, and become either (1), (2) or (3), or perhaps something worse...
Oh yeah, did I mention that I was also rather traumatised by all that dark and evil imageries in that scene where the murder took place? All that grotesque spell fiddlings, and the macabre masks and hoods. Yeeeks. I think Harry Potter's getting a little too dark even for big babies.
